If you asked me to describe the perfect Rover experience it would be working with Ana. She was friendly and prompt with communication, provided great updates, followed instructions, and reached out when she had a question. Fantastic sitter.

Honestly the 2 nicest people you could ever ask to watch your cats. They were great with giving my cats their meds. I came home knowing they had everything taken care of at my house. They even picked up my mail.

Jennifer did so well with our kitties and paid great attention to detail. From noticing behavioral changes to offering to water plants around the house, she truly put care and attention into everything. Thanks for being so attentive and making sure to play with Gigi every day so Mac could be left alone to be the grumpy old man he is.

About: Hello! Thank you for considering me for the pleasure of spending time with your pet :) I’m a former Assistant Trainer and Boarding Specialist with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs through house-sitting, boarding, and training. I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether your dog is shy, reactive, high-energy, or a couch potato — I’ve been there and truly love getting to know each individual personality. I’m confident handling multi-dog households, administering medications, and supporting dogs with special behavioral or medical needs. I know that every dog and every home has its own rhythm, and I’ll take the time to fully understand and honor your pet’s routines, preferences, and quirks. Above all, I genuinely love dogs — they’re such an important part of our lives and deserve to be treated with the highest level of care, respect, and affection. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and currently share my days with two of my own who join me on adventures and bring endless joy to my home. I’d be honored to care for your pets like they’re my own. I work remotely, so I am able to spend the day with your pet(s) while I am working and take any breaks for walks, play, feeding meals, etc. I am available for boarding any day of the week, provided there is enough notice. I can accommodate any requests for caring for your pet(s) in your home. I welcome any detailed instructions and take routine very seriously when petsitting.

My dog Piper was restricted for three months due to heart worm treatment. Dominique is really good with her. And took better pictures of her than I did. 😀

Lenny is absolutely amazing! We just moved from overseas and I was worried my dogchild (he’s a senior) was going to have a problem bonding with a new sitter because he adored his last sitter. It’s safe to say he adores Lenny already and that’s such a relief. Lenny is such a great communicator and I love all the pictures taken daily. I couldn’t have picked a better person.

Miranda was able to accommodate me last minute before a short out of town trip for a few days and was available for a virtual meeting and she followed instructions I sent her through a Google Docs very well. She was so attentive, loving and patient with both my fur babies Suki and Lilith and I could tell from the Rover card pictures that my kitties felt so comfortable with her! She went above and beyond to give them treats and playtime and she was overall amazing. She was very communicative and flexible. I would book with her again and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to drop in on their cats while they’re away! Thank you tons, Miranda 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Olivia was the absolute best! I went on an extended family vacation overseas and didn’t want to board my cats to give the comfort of remaining home. While a bit nervous about being gone, they were cared for and loved. Than you, Olivia for going above and beyond in taking care of our fur-babies

About: Animals should be cared with respect and patience. Due to my background in helping out with animals and having a cat of my own, I know it is important to trust someone with your animal. My goal is always to create a calm, safe space where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and very much at home. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I study online in the afternoons, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of maintaining their routine and respecting the space. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in an environment they already know. Additionally, for dog walking I plan on having clear communication with dog owner regrading the walking process. I would love to send owner in photos or videos of their pet while I care for them!

About: ***I am independently insured through PetCare for greater peace of mind while you’re away*** I've recently gone through a career switch from caring for humans (I was a registered nurse) to caring for animals last year. However, I have loved and cared for several personal and friend’s pets, to include cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, throughout my entire life. I hold a strong passion for advocating and caring for all beings with empathy, patience, and understanding. Since my career switch, I have experienced pets who need extra attention due to daily medications, reactivity, older age, anxiety, and helping to instill training (I am not a certified trainer) the clients are already teaching their pet(s) during my walks and/or pet sits. Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job now. Whether you need a midday walk or need someone to care for your pets while you escape on vacation, I’m available for either service throughout the week, weekend, and some holidays. While I do not provide care in my home, I do travel to your pets while you’re away. My approach to caring for animals is with a lot of patience and respect. I’m happy to take it slow for each animal that may be a bit timid at first. I have a lot of experience personally and professionally working with animals who are timid, reactive, etc. For new clients, I like to have a meet/greet to go over care instructions before the pet sitting/walking dates. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions and discuss further what you can expect while you’re away. My goal is to provide care the way your pet is used to. I send daily updates/pictures/video to give you the reassurance that your pet is being loved on just the way you would if you were there.

Rosemary took great care of my 2 cats with drop-in visits over the holidays. They're shy, but they warmed up to her, and she played with them (which they needed!). I'm very happy with her work!

I wish there were more than five stars! I contacted Isabella to take care of some feral cats I have been feeding as well as watering my gardens which I am very particular about while we are away for a week, In one word - FABULOUS. When I returned all the kitties were happy and the gardens were flourishing. Isabella has very kind, warm presentation which was so lovely and I felt completely relieved when I knew all these tasks would be in her caring hands. She even came back when I returned to drop off treats for the kitties and my dog (who came with us - which I thought was such a thoughtful gesture since she didn’t care for him). She also rolled out my trash cans and took in the mail which she voluntarily offered to do. I will absolutely reach out to her whenever I am in need of pet care (and/or garden care). She is just wonderful!

Angela has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is reliable, always punctual, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. During every visit, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to see our cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Dana is a rare gem find!!! Trustworthy reliable and great communication. I have two dogs she walks together who no matter how much training we do always act like they’ve never been outside of leashes before. One is aggressive relative the other is easily overly excited. She handles them like an absolute champ and I know they are always safe in her hands!
